Our Family's First Homestead

Posted by Grace , wife to Rolly; mother to Amir & Ace



"After getting married, we decided to buy this set of dining table as our first "conjugal" pieces of furniture (July 2006). Since younger days I always dreamed of a family whose happily dine together even it just a plain salt and rice at the middle of the table. Sad to say, I raised in the family we're we eat in different parts of the house at no particular time, unlike my husband's family, eating together is an important family affair. During the times we're we are not married yet- Rol, insisted to eat w/ me in one plate, even if were are in a party or formal gathering. Until now, nothings changed even we have already our own separate chairs in this dining table, this eating practice is a treasured moments for us of our younger years."

"A House is a Home when it shelters the body and comforts the soul...."


But for us, our humble home is love I didn't have
to chase because the love is in every place.
Home is where l can see my love one's faces,
Home is where l can see my dogs and trashes and just embrace,
Home is where l can say I love you & take care.
Home is where you know love in in the air.
Home is where we can sit and cry out loud.
Home is where l will never tell you a lie.
Home, is where l feel blessed to look my love ones in the eye.
Home, is where we can communicate when I'm with you and it feels great.
Home, is where are children are going to be.
Home is were you will say you will never miss me.
But I missed our first home were we build our dreams.
Time goes bye setting priorities may begin,
I pray that one day we'll get back soon.
Promise you will wait and hoping for you to embrace us in full.

" A day after our wedding, we're totally fortunate to find our first residence in Caloocan.
Luckily enough, the house was very near (walking takes 5 minutes) to the school
where I worked as a teacher. "


- HOME -

Home is where all striving cease,
Home is the place your heart resides
Home is the womb that holds the soul
Home is the place one is whole
Home is the glow you hold in your eye
Home is the emotion that makes you cry
Home is safe and a place of peace
Home is where all striving cease
Home is protective against the others
Home is full of sisters and brothers
Home is where you find your rest
Home is where you feel your best
Home is a memory that follows your being
Home is a dream for those agreeing
Home is the place where reserves fall
Home is the place you yearn to call
Home is where the family meets
Home is a place of restful retreats
Home is the place you know you’ll be heard
Home is the pace where nothing blurs
Home is all these wonderful things
Home is the place you develop wings
Home is the place that you’ll find one day
Home is the place where your heart will stay

"Sadly, we said goodbye three months after I gave birth to my twins to our first home
on summer of 2007. We would surely miss this house."
